John Reischman and the Jaybirds

Foothills Bluegrass Music Society presents John Reischman and the Jaybirds live at The Irish Cultural Society in Bowness (6452 35 Ave NW, Calgary AB)! 

Join us Friday, March 14, 2025, doors at 7:00PM, show at 7:30PM.

Like the powerful mandolinist and composer at its helm, John Reischman and the Jaybirds fashion a stylish take on bluegrass that seamlessly blends original songs and instrumentals with Appalachian old-time music for a truly unique band sound. Now in their 20th year, with seven acclaimed albums and two Juno nominations, the Jaybirds are simultaneously innovative and unadorned, sophisticated and stripped-down, happily old-fashioned and 21st-century contemporary.

Reischman and the Jaybirds make effortless-sounding music that strikes its own balance of technical virtuosity and emotional honesty, and finds its own relaxed voice in a repertoire that comfortably embraces bluegrass and old-time classics, blues, gospel, original instrumentals and songs, and the Beatles.

The musical vision that propels the Jaybirds may be Reischman’s, but there is no singular star here that outshines the other.
